...The Right to OwnGuns
As American citizens, we have more rights and freedoms than any other group of people in the world. The founders of this country established these freedoms because they had previously lived in countries where the people did not have as many rights. One of these rights is stated in the Second Amendment to the Constitution, which proclaims "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." But over the years various laws and regulations have infringed upon this right. The reasons for these laws are to get the guns that cause crime and injuries off the streets. But most of these laws have only prevented the common citizen from acquiring a firearm. There should be some regulation with regard to who can own a gun, but we need to ensure that this regulation is done in a fair and practical manner.
The best argument for the protection of the right to possess arms is the Second Amendment. The purpose of the amendment, and the entire Constitution, is to establish certain rights that cannot be abolished or changed by our government. But the wording of the amendment has been a source of debate. The main argument is that the amendment only provides for a militia, and that the "right to keep and bear arms" is referring to militia members...

Your Rights to Bare Arms
No one enjoys being told what to do or when to do it. As Americans we shouldn't be intimidated by things such as gun control. There should not be a debate on whether or not we should bann the continuous use of guns here in America; the reason is simple.
Guns have been around for as long as history can remember. The majority of people believe guns are dangerous, unsafe, and nothing but hazardous; however, this is not completely true. There is no doubt that guns can be dangerous in the wrong hands, but it’s more of a true blame to say people kill people rather than guns. Limited restrictions are utilized on the distribution and possession of firearms. Some examples include: criminals, the mentally unstable, dishonorably discharged soldiers, illegal users, aliens, and renounced citizens. Every one of them have restrictions in the purchase and possession of firearms. As a punishment, violating these statutes can net you 10 years of imprisonment, and/or a $250,000 fine. As Americans, we should take pride in the liberty of being allowed to own a gun. We are born with this privilege, and it should remain a privilege to those who abide by its regulations.
The right to own a gun is secured by the Second amendment: (A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security...

...There is a famous quote, which states: "Guns don't kill people, people kill people." This quote is technically true. But if there are no guns, it will be a whole lot more difficult for people to kill people. Sure people could use different weapons such as knives and golf clubs to kill people. But the victim will have a significant better chance of defending him or herself from a weapon other than firearms.
I was born in Tokyo, Japan and moved to the United States when I was six. I still go visit my relatives and friends in Japan every other year. "Japan - described as having the strictest controls in the world - bans private possession of firearms except by people who need them for official duties or by licensed hunters, shooters, athletes, dealers or collectors." (Stencel pg. 164). Walking in a large downtown area of Tokyo in the middle of the night feels very different from walking in downtown Atlanta at nighttime. There are many people walking around town even past midnight in Japan because the crime rate is lower than it is here in the U.S. People don't worry as much as they do here in the U.S. about being robbed, kidnapped, etc. Unfortunately, Japan's crime rate in general is higher than it was before. I would here about murders in Japan happening with knives and such, but very rarely do I here about murders or other such crimes happening with firearms. But the crime rate is still much lower than compared to the U.S.' crime...

...Gunrights and gun control have different meaning depending with where one lives and the influence they have on one’s life. The debate on gun control has been going on for ages now. There have been people advocating for gun control while others want the control tightened. The federal government has been working on amending current gun regulations to be able to control gun ownership. Owning a gun in the United States is a peculiar American tradition so the Obama government and those who will follow should know that this will not change any time soon. Different states take different stances on the issues and it’s a topic that spurs emotions whenever it is raised.
The Gunrights topic is a current relevant issue as the congress last week converged to vote on the way forward. Last month there was a shootout in an elementary school massacre that claimed the lives of 26 people, 20 of them children all aged six-seven years. that left so many school going children dead and some hurt. In the last few years there has so many shoot outs in American schools and in estates, some being by young teenagers. Many people claim that this has been brought about by having so many guns in the communities. An idea that brings controversy because in Canada there at least three guns per person, the federal government is majorly...

Golding, William. Lord of the Flies. New York: Perigee, 2006. Print. Golding’s novel centers on marooned boys’ attempts to adapt to the dangerously undiscovered locations of the Island to maintain survival until they get rescued. With the frightening paranoia of the “beasts”, it places the children more in depth of the unknown terrain to venture off into. Also, in order to survive, the boys must swallow their fears and search through the lush jungles of the island for resources that will assist them to live in a suitable environment. While the young men grown into the apprehensive monsters of their own, they face the struggle of cooperating on travels, scavenges, and shelter building.
Gooley, Tristan. “Urban Natural Navigation.” The Natural Navigator. BBC News Online Magazine, Oct. 2011. Web. 19 Nov. 2013. This article does not completely describe where to navigate to places, but it does tell you how and in what places to easily make way through different terrains. It points out the flow of people and road alignment, which also has nothing to do with navigating the certain wild terrain we are looking for. On the contrary, it provides good points on how weathering reveals patterns in order to navigate through unknown terrain. Generally, this article isn’t as useful as the others, but it does have quite an amount of useful information for perhaps other situations.

With the war on drugs presently being waged in the United States what sort of out come can be presumed based on the outcome of the prohibition of alcohol in the 1920’s? By being able to determine or predict outcomes based on the closely related prohibition in the 1920’s we could possibly save lives from the war that is raging in many of our backyards.
In my research I was looking for articles from the 1920’s and present day that were closely related to try to draw ties between the modern day prohibition of drugs and the prohibition of alcohol in the 1920’s. My primary search methods were both Google search and Google scholar.
